US EditionNYPD investigating release of Palestinian woman’s sealed records to ICE
- The New York City Police Department is investigating whether it violated policy by sharing a sealed report on Palestinian Leqaa Kordia with federal immigration authorities after her arrest last spring in New York.
- The investigation follows reporting that the Trump administration is seeking to deport Kordia amid a crackdown on noncitizens involved in Gaza war protests, while her dismissed and sealed disorderly conduct case was shared with ICE.
- The NYPD produced a four-page report including Kordia’s personal details and arrest summary on the same day of her March 13 immigration detention, and this report is now used as evidence in her federal deportation case.
- Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said the department provided the information to Homeland Security Investigations as part of a criminal probe, but Kordia’s attorney said it remains unclear how she became a DHS focus or why a money laundering investigation was mentioned.
- The case is under internal review due to concerns that sharing sealed case details may breach legal restrictions, and the outcome could affect police cooperation limits with federal immigration enforcement in civil matters.
